Well, Marlboro was announced as a Ferrari sponsor until 2011, no surprise to see them leave after an effective tobacco ban on the sport.

As a collector of diecast, this is good news. Now the model cars will have a livery that is the one the car actually races (excluding the older BBR's of course). Other than that not really a big deal IMO. Even in a difficult sponsorship environment Ferrari should have no trouble filling their engine cover and sidepods.

Well I think you got two people there Razor... But then again they might bring out the 'not April 1 in Europe yet' clause

To be honest, even if it wasn't April 1st, this would be a good idea. I sort of knew that Ferrari were sponsored by some cancermonger, but really didn't know which one! So, that 'advertising' really works then!! And when Malboro is mentioned, I usually think of Mclaren!!
